how to run iOS simulator 10.3.1 on Xcode 12.4? - ios

currently we are developing a flutter app with flutter SDK 1.20, we are sticking to version 1.20 due to some outdated packages we use.
after some googling we found that we still can open a debugging session on iOS simulators 10.3.1,
we are using Xcode 12.4 and when we try to add a new simulator and try to download a new OS version, we downloaded iOS simulator 10.3.1 and its added in Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Profiles/Runtimes as iOS 10.3.simruntime
but unfortunately its not appearing when we choose to install an OS version on a new iOS simulator.
all we can choose are these simulators only...but 10.3.1 not showing:
how can we choose iOS simulator 10.3.1?

did you somehow fix this problem?
Regards

Xcode 12.3 couldn't install app on iOS 14.3

I've updated my iPhone to iOS 14.3 and it required me to update Xcode to 12.3 too. But Xcode now gives me the following error whenever trying to run/debug the app through the device.
Errors were encountered while preparing your device for development. Please check the Devices and Simulators Window.
I tried restarting Xcode, reconnecting the device, changing deployment target etc. with no luck.
if you updated you iOS to latest beta version, you should also use latest Xcode beta version.
Or else restart your device.

This iPhone 6 is running iOS 11.3.1 (15E302), which may not be supported by this version of Xcode

I'm using Xcode 9.2 with Sierra 10.3.3 . And my iPhone 6 is with 11.3.1 (15E302). I'm unable to use my iPhone 6 for the test purpose of my IOS apps. Because, the Xcode says, Could not locate device support files. This iPhone 6 is running iOS 11.3.1 (15E302), which may not be supported by this version of Xcode.
Please help me if anyone have the device support for 11.3.1 (15E302)
Thanks
You need to update to Xcode 9.3.
Another option is to download the 11.3 device support
iOS 11.3
Remove "(15E217)" from folder name, so it became "11.3". Restart Xcode.
You need to upgrade your xcode version to make the app capable to run in that version of iPhone , or you can get the support files form Here and put in this path ( after unZip )
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport
Xcode 9.2 only supports up to iOS 11.2
Update Xcode

Apple - iOS - Testing on iOS 10.3 with XCode 8.2.1

I have a MacBook with El Capitan installed on it. I cannot upgrade to sierra! Because of that, I cannot install XCode 8.3.
Now I need to test an App with iOS 10.3 but I cannot build it with XCode 8.2.1 for iOS 10.3. I have an pyhsical device with iOS 10.3 but XCode wont let me run it on that device.
What to do now?
Doing so is still possible with this simple workaround:
Download the latest Xcode
Right click on the downloaded Xcode.app, select Show Package Contents. Navigate to Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport subfolder
Move the 10.3 folder to the identical location in your local Xcode 8.2.1 installation
Don't get disappointed. There is one way.
If you have access any of the mac that is running the latest xcode and up to date simulators, then navigate to this directory copy the simulators you need and past it on the same directory in your OSX.
You can then be able to run the app on the latest simulator and the updated physical device!
/Applications/Xcode8.3.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform
Unfortunately, you're out of luck. As this answer specifies, iOS 10.3 requires Xcode 8.3 or greater, which in turn requires macOS Sierra.

IOS simulator install sub version

I've got a running application which seems to crash only in IOS version 9.0.2. With version 9.0 it is working.
I want to debug it with the XCode simulator, but it is only running version 9.0.
How can I get the simulator running IOS 9.0.2?
You can't. You need a real device with the specific version. The simulator doesn't support minor point releases.

How to launch app using Xcode 7.1 with iOS Deployment target iOS 7.1?

I want to launch my app for users who have iOS 7.1 and ahead. After installing Xcode 7.1 after running on iOS 7.1 simulator its giving
The iOS 7.1 simulator runtime is not available.
Unable to open liblaunch_sim.dylib. Try reinstalling Xcode or the simulator runtime.
After reading solutions of
How can I run the iOS 7.1 Simulator in Xcode 7.0 beta 2?
As you can see in comments also with El capitan and Xcode 7.1 its not working.
The only thing which i want here is my app should be available for iOS 7.1 and ahead users.
You will need a device with iOS 7.1 to check your app. If you have deployment target set to 7.1 it should run on that device with no problem.
Older Simulator runtimes are available for download through Xcode's preferences.
Goto Xcode -> Preferences -> Downloads to see the list of compatible legacy simulator runtimes.
El Capitan supports iOS 8.1 and newer runtimes.
Yosemite supports iOS 7.1 and newer runtimes.
There is a known issue mentioned in the Xcode release notes which prevents the iOS 7.1 simulator runtime from working in Xcode 7.
Thus, you can't currently use the iOS 7.1 simulator runtime with Xcode 7.
